| Popis: | Extraoral implant retained prostheses have been shown to be a reliable therapy choice for maxillofacial rehabilitation. The clinical and laboratory steps for creating an auricular prosthesis are described in this case report. A 27-year-old male patient met with a road traffic accident, lost his left ear, and developed an ear deformity. The patient then sought out rehabilitation. Extraoral implants and Hader bar-and-clip retention were used to ensure that the auricular prosthesis was properly connected to the implant. The patient was satisfied with the prosthesis remarkable support, retention, and aesthetic abilities. Treatment success depends on factors like patient acceptability, aesthetics, compatibility, durability, and prosthetic considerations like material availability, processing ease, and ease of duplication that make the prosthesis look natural and give the patient social confidence. |
